R/C Gears
Post a pic or two of what gears you need, or even better email them to me.
I have boxes full of old R/C stuff. You never know...

Vwfreak,
Now that is cool stuff that you have done.
I always thought of doing it to one of those but never did..
Does the hood still fit on after the nitro swap.And how does the the stock drive take the power and how hard are the parts to get.?
You be the man.

I used a Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec as a donor car for this conversion. They're pretty cheap if you pick one up at a hobby shop used, or find one on E-bay.

The shocks are from my Kyosho Optima Mid that I raced twice a week at the local indoor track back in the 80's. Very good guess!
